Wish List: HM Embody Chair
5 October 2008
One of the occupational hazards of being a designer is the fact that I end up sitting in front of my computer for hours (really I mean days). Literally last week I ended up working 20 hours straight one day, and out of 5 days of work I only showered 4 times. I’m sorry if that sounds gross; it does, but it also illustrates how many hours I spend with my butt in an office chair. Unfortunately I do not own anything comfortable or nice to sit it. In fact my chair is one I took as part of my severance package from a sales job (they didn’t want it and it was this 1960s aluminum hotness I just love the way it looks). Comfort wise I might as well be sitting on a bar stool. As you can guess occasionally I get an ache in my back (no surprise).
I’ve always wanted a Herman Miller Aeron chair, but as of right now my sights have changed. This Embody chair looks to be better and let’s face it the Aeron is 15–16 years old. It’s either this or else I’ve thought about getting one of my parents old High winged back chairs they use to have in their formal living room. Now that’d help me feel more captainish.

I would wait for Knoll’s chair coming out shortly after this one. Why would you want this monstrosity?? Designed by some old man who obviously doesn’t know how people currently work using the same mechanism as Aeron….seven control knobs??? C’mon….iPods work with only one button. Ever here of evolution.
This chair is a step backwards.
